Thomas Webb Monumental Wheel Cut Crystal Floral Centerpiece

One can only describe this amazing centerpiece as "Monumental" both in scale and design! When you view the workmanship and detail of this piece, you can only stand back and admire the overall effect. It stands 9" tall and is close to 16" in diameter but it is not "overdone." Each element of design stands out, the base, which evokes wheel cut flower stems, the stem which is simple and elegant with panel cutting and the bowl which is a true work of art. Art Nouveau style wheel-cut floral engraving surrounds the bowl, still allowing clear crystal space and punctuated with frosted petals, it is an example of Webb's masterful techniques of glass blowing and engraving.

Sure to be the center of attention on any table, not so tall as to obscure the view across the table but large enough to hold flowers, fruit or any seasonal decoration. Excellent condition, ca. 1920's.
